So "What did you do to your bike today?"

It's funny as the sun comes out the forum seems to get a bit more active. Wouldn't it be great if the weather was always like this. Lots of bikes streaming down to Hastings for the weekend, the A21 was full of them. My 7 year old daughter was convinced she saw some of "daddy's bikes" as she put it on her journey home today from camber. More sun please Getting to the point of this post, today I was trying to find out the paint colour code for my c90 12v engine that's in my oh so "rare" lady and stumbled on a thread on the c90 forum that I thought was interesting and may stimulate some of you to tell us all what you have been up to. Credit to the c90 forum which is very active for some reason, weird as ST's are a much better bike in my opion, although the c90 engine rocks So as the title says, "What did you do to your bike today?" Today I got my headlights working on my 1976 Lady, she has a 12v 2002 c90 engine in, so not a standard ST but it was very rewarding to see the high and low beam shining at me. Even better to watch the lights get brighter as I reved the engine. I even went for a run, only down to the bottom of my road and back but it's a start Shorrocks, I kept my eyes open for white vans and was lucky not to come across one, hope your on the mend fella. Rear lights to do them I'm ready for the MOT, it's been a long time coming but I guess that's part of the fun for me. What did you do? Blue

Believe me Waynus,

These models are so detailed, I reckon if you can put one of these together, its not far off the real thing, such is the attention to detail. The suspension works, the wheels move, even the seat has a catch, it really is a fantastic model. It's also nice and big 1:6 scale. I would definitely recommend one of these as an addition to any ST owners collection.

My "Lardy Dax" has been very slow this week, due to my new job, but I will hope to get on with it soon. I'll keep you all posted when I resume proceedings.

All the best Si

Heres where I got my information on Electrolysis.

Read the entire thread before you attempt this, and you do this at your own risk!
Just make sure you take care, do this out side and make sure no one can get near this whilst its turned on.

Avoid stainless steel for your anodes.
Plus its worth using multiple anodes as the process is directional.

Have fun
